The Artistic Home Studio's annual CUT TO THE CHASE festival; a program of six staged plays, by six different authors and helmed by six directors, carries the theme “I’m Still Here,” and will explore acts of perseverance in the face of change. Now in its 25th year, the festival has become a Chicago fan favorite, premiering new work from Chicago playwrights as well as well-known talent from across the country.
